Dangerous Rock (Dangerous Noise 3)

"Huh." She takes a sip of her tea. "What about the full moon thing?"

"What about it?"

"The moon is a metaphor for female reproduction, because the lunar cycle is about as long as the menstrual cycle. And people only change to werewolves during the full moon."

I laugh. "I've got nothing."

"It could be that they become beasts when women are ovulating."

"It's all about making babies?"

"Maybe." She takes another long sip of her tea. This time, she lets out a soft moan. "But then 'moon time' usually means a period."

"You saying my metaphor is falling apart?"

"It needs some finessing."

I steal her tea and take a sip. "You have to admit, those werewolf guys are totally into each other."

"Sirius and Remus?"

"Yeah. Total wolf on wolf action."

She laughs and steals her tea back. "Sirius isn't a werewolf. He's an animagus."

"A what?"

"A shapeshifter. He can turn into a dog."

"But they are fucking."

"Maybe."

"Definitely."

"I never thought about it. I'm not really into guy on guy."

I raise a brow.

"Really. I guess… I'm not really sure what I'm into. Besides the usual."

"More than happy to help you figure that out."

She blushes.

I could push her.

But I like just talking to her. Even about nothing. It's easy. I don't get that with anyone else.

After I finish my cereal I leave the bowl in the sink. Then I steal her tea again.

"Hey." She pushes me playfully.

I slide out of my seat and hold the cup over my head.

She stands to reach for it. She's not quite there. "You're too tall."

I nod.
